Trying to be nice and quick for ya!

Shandom couldn't fault the younger man for being nervous, for the air emanated from him in waves in the first several moments of their interaction. The man had folded into himself, demonstrating adequate knowledge of submission, though the Gamma doubted he actually deserved such an extensive show. Regardless, he would not condemn the man for such behavior: it was what New Dawn sought, after all, and he lavished privately in the respect shown to him. At that moment, the Qi'Vaex man was reminded of why he'd enjoyed being of a higher rank, and was doubly glad he'd finally proven himself to Zalen and Titania. Truly, he was honored they thought him a good source of advice, should they need it. It was an honor to serve New Dawn as its Gamma.
Shandom was happy to see the small shadows of a smile curve across the younger man's lips. The newcomer was handsome, the Gamma thought in the most heterosexual way possible, and he could imagine there would be several eager young ladies flouncing around him in the near future, should he prove himself an acceptable member of New Dawn. Shandom would not deny he was cynical of most, but this loner had warmed his heart with his show of respect; plus, he was in a fantastic mood as it was. Though there might have been a different perception among some of the wolves of New Dawn - Soran and Noah among them - the Gamma was not a cruel or rigid wolf. No, he was merely set in his traditional ways, and took hierarchy extremely seriously. Anyway. The young one spoke, introducing himself as Cerberus Antum. It was a good, strong name, and Shandom nodded in acknowledgement. A pleasure, then, Cerberus. Who suggested you come here? And, if you would please, could you tell me what assets you might bring New Dawn?
If Cerberus answered in a fashion he thought adequate, Shandom would ask one more question before calling a leader. It was, perhaps, something that was born of his own experiences, but the Gamma was curious to know why wolves were loners. He did not expect any long or particularly detailed stories, but if they were revolutionaries bent on destruction, he would not allow them to pass the borders of his home and bring harm to his family.
